Fashion trends come and go, but some styles are timeless no matter the trends – and this is precisely the case of polka dots, a must of the Chic Parisienne that this season happens to be back in fashion. . As read on “12 Standout Trends That Ruled the Spring 2020 Runways – Your official guide to spring’s top trends” on HARPER’S BAZAAR.COM, “designers are digging in their luxury heels when it comes to the almighty dot—simply put, the trend shows no sign of slowing.” And the good news is that you can wear this super chic print no matter the settings, as it will allow you to always look polished in a very sophisticated way. .

This is the only drawback of this versatile garment. Unlike straight jeans, which – if properly hemmed at the ankle – can be worn with any kind of shoes, this doesn’t happen with flared/boot-cut pants. .
